Qian Renchu Returns

"Seventh Soul Skill: Pufferfish Avatar!" Seeing this, Pufferfish Douluo at the side also activated his martial soul rings, summoning a gigantic blood-red pufferfish that charged fiercely toward Yu Yuanzhen!

Yu Yuanzhen's expression remained utterly calm. He gently raised his other hand, forming an enormous lightning barrier.

With a boom, Pufferfish Douluo's fist slammed into the lightning barrier. Not only did it fail to shatter it, but his arm went numb, and pain flashed across his face.

Snake Lance and Pufferfish Douluo were only rank ninety-two in Soul Power. Compared to the fully dragonized, rank ninety-five Yu Yuanzhen, they were worlds apart!

"A little fish and a little snake dare act presumptuously before the Dragon King?" Yu Yuanzhen sneered coldly. "Let this old man teach you how to respect your elders and cherish the young!"

As Yu Yuanzhen's words fell, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon behind him opened its massive jaws and spat out two lightning orbs in succession.

"Ah!" "Ah!" Two cries rang out one after another as Snake Lance and Pufferfish Douluo were both blasted away, crashing heavily onto the ground!

Seeing this, every member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wore an excited expression.

Was this their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master?

With a casual strike, he could crush two Title Douluo.

Xue Beng was even more thrilled. Now that the two Title Douluo were no match for Yu Yuanzhen, the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire was practically within his grasp!

The court officials, meanwhile, revealed fearful expressions.

They had originally intended to follow Xue Qinghe to the bitter end, but Yu Yuanzhen's appearance had left them completely torn.

In the next moment, Yu Yuanzhen transformed into a streak of lightning and teleported before Qian Renxue. "Xue Qinghe, you are at least the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. I will give you one final chance! Reveal the truth behind your regicide and rebellion, and perhaps I will leave you with an intact corpse!"

Yu Yuanzhen was deeply astonished.

He knew that Qian Renxue had most likely murdered the emperor and seized the throne, but the Tian Dou Imperial Palace had one hundred thousand imperial guards and four thousand Soul Masters. Xue Ye also possessed a treasure like the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

Yet when he entered the Tian Dou Imperial Palace, he found that the auras of all one hundred thousand imperial guards and four thousand Soul Masters had vanished!

And yet, aside from a few damaged buildings, there was not the slightest trace of a great battle anywhere in the Tian Dou Imperial Palace. There was not even any blood.

This truly left him unable to make sense of it!

Even an Ultimate Douluo should have left behind some traces!

"I have already said it!" Facing Yu Yuanzhen's pressure, Qian Renxue remained neither servile nor overbearing. "Prince Xue Xing murdered the emperor and usurped the throne. Father and Prince Xue Xing perished together!"

"Shut your mouth!" Xue Beng roared. "Xue Qinghe, Father was your biological father! You actually killed your own father over a mere throne!"

"Grandpa Yuanzhen, please do not hesitate. Immediately tear him to pieces!" Xue Beng said viciously.

Now, both Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing were dead.

As long as Xue Qinghe died, he would be the only legitimate heir of the Heaven Dou Empire. The vast Heaven Dou Empire would become his possession!

The corners of Yu Yuanzhen's lips curled slightly upward.

All under heaven bustle for profit; all under heaven scramble for gain.

Naturally, Yu Yuanzhen was no exception.

If Xue Beng had not promised Yu Yuanzhen that, as long as he helped eliminate Xue Qinghe, he would grant the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect royal status, make Yu Yuanzhen a king, and offer enormous benefits, Yu Yuanzhen would never have mobilized the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!

Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been destroyed, once the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect became a royal clan of the Heaven Dou Empire, Yu Yuanzhen was fully confident that he could raise the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect into a superpower on par with Spirit Hall!

Splat!

However, just as Xue Beng's voice fell, the void before him tore apart!

A black greatsword suddenly shot out from the void.

It pierced straight through Xue Beng's heart!

"W-What..." Xue Beng stared at the greatsword embedded in his body, his face instantly filled with disbelief, terror, and despair.

Qian Renxue was stunned as well.

Xue Beng had suddenly been killed. It had all happened far too abruptly.

The court officials, Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo, the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and even Yu Yuanzhen himself were all dumbfounded.

Who could kill someone so swiftly that even he, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master and a rank ninety-five Title Douluo, had not had the slightest chance to intervene?

"Xue Beng committed insubordination and attempted to murder the new emperor. He is hereby executed on the spot!" At that moment, an immensely authoritative and magnetic male voice rang out.

Before everyone's eyes, space tore apart, and a figure stepped out from the spatial rift.

This person wore black robes and a mask, untouched by dust or frost. Like an exiled immortal walking the mortal world, he was none other than Qian Renchu!

At the sight of Qian Renchu, both Snake Lance and Pufferfish Douluo, as well as the Spirit Hall Knights, breathed sighs of relief.

Qian Renxue felt as though a great burden had been lifted, and her heart surged with excitement. "Brother!"

"Who are you?" Yu Yuanzhen looked at Qian Renchu with slight shock.

The person before him was clearly a young man, yet Yu Yuanzhen could not sense the slightest fluctuation in his aura!

"A treacherous rebel dares ask for my name?" Destruction Light flickered in Qian Renchu's eyes. "Yu Yuanzhen, you led troops into court and attempted to murder the emperor. I trust you have prepared yourself to die?"

Qian Renxue was Qian Renchu's untouchable reverse scale!

He had only left for a short while.

Yet Yu Yuanzhen had dared to threaten Qian Renxue. Qian Renchu would surely make Yu Yuanzhen and the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect perish completely!

"Hmph!" Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen laughed disdainfully. "You are simply twisting black into white! Whoever you are, I have never seen anyone so arrogant. Die!"

Who was Yu Yuanzhen?

The patriarch of the world's number-one beast martial soul clan.

He possessed more than enough strength to challenge those above his rank.

He had never been frightened into submission!

What was more, Yu Yuanzhen possessed a supreme treasure!

As Yu Yuanzhen's words fell, the Dragon King behind him spiraled into the sky. Then, from high above, it spat out a lightning orb!

This lightning orb was even more imposing than the one that had defeated Snake Lance Douluo, and the power contained within it was even greater.

Though he was unafraid, Yu Yuanzhen was not someone who underestimated his opponent. He could tell that Qian Renchu was far from ordinary!

However, with a boom, before Yu Yuanzhen's lightning orb could touch Qian Renchu, endless Destruction Power surged from Qian Renchu's body and transformed into a great hand that rushed toward the lightning orb.

In only an instant, the lightning orb was completely crushed. Then, the black Destruction Great Hand surged madly toward Yu Yuanzhen.

"What?" Yu Yuanzhen was greatly shocked. He had never imagined that this young man's strength could be so terrifying.

The power contained within that black Destruction Great Hand was the most terrifying force Yu Yuanzhen had ever encountered in his life!

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Yuanzhen's second soul ring lit up beneath his feet. "Second Soul Skill: Thunderous Might!"

With a low shout, endless lightning power rapidly gathered before him, forming an illusory dragon-head shield!
